UNSPSC 50436116: Dried organic wild spinach

The variety of organic spinach known as organic wild spinach that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436116 Dried organic wild spinach is a Commodity code that captures institutional bulk purchases of dried legumes and staple food products for state and local food-service operations, though the recent opportunities posted under this code show activity in dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black) rather than spinach specifically. State and local governments are soliciting dried beans and related food staples through this taxonomy primarily for correctional facilities, educational institutions, and child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span state correctional departments, state procurement offices acting on behalf of criminal justice agencies, municipal food-service programs, and specialized institutional food vendors. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia, the State of Illinois, and the City of Edinburg, Texas, have all posted activity under related dried-goods categories in the past six months, indicating that state corrections systems and municipal nutrition programs drive consistent demand for bulk dried-goods procurement.

Recent opportunities show a geographic concentration in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, through the OregonBuys system, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and bidders headquartered in Oregon; the ODOC historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound in August 2025 from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027) with bids due October 9, 2026, requiring delivery in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal-service supplies serving approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily, encompassing beverages, paper goods, food products including proteins and vegetables, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applied to bids within 5% of the lowest bid price. All three opportunities require FOB delivery at destination with no separate freight reimbursement; institutional food-service procurement under this code remains active but narrow in recent posting volume.
